that was one of the year's best fights
LAMONT EFFIN PETERSON, baby!
i thought lamont had the edge (considering the deductions, which, as bogus as they might have been, must be counted,) in a very close fight.
khan's got some serious flaws
he fights in spots like a pro
and behaves like a pro in terms of his fortitude.
but he boxes like an amateur
he lands a punch and runs half way across the ring. way too many steps
not professional. he's talented, but he's not this great boxer he's made out to be. he uses his physical tools and boxes with them like an amateur.
he's going to have even more trouble at WW, when guys are too tall and strong for him to pull down // lean on and also too strong for him to tie up both hands
with the right ref and the right opponent khan's physical tools can make him look spectacular, but a professional like lamont will always give him problems. what's khan going to do against tim bradley, who literally does everything better than lamont?
and on to peterson :
that's what it's all about, boys. in front of 9000 in his hometown (which, for you guys not in the states, is a HUGE crowd over here.)
those body shots won him the fight. i'm re-watching it now
how great was that? that's one of the best wins of the year. it's certainly up there with the rest of the year's great upsets
ishida - kirkland
brewer - guerrero
rubio - lemieux
salido - juanma
and the real king which doesnt qualify on technicalities
marquez - pacquiao
edit :
seth mitchell has a ton to work on obviously but he's as talented as anybody in the division not named klitschko
he pushes his right hand a bit and looks like he's forcing it. with his size it might not ever be a thing of beauty, but it's still going to become more effective as he learns to use it. his left hook however looks like a natural punch and is very hard
to the body and the head. and he's got the footspeed and athletic ability to get inside and land that stuff too, unlike most of the HW out there.
its nice to see a HW throwing combinations. let's see him take a couple more steps up over 2012 and perhaps give him a shot at a klitschko in 2013 if they are still fighting.
if not i can already see mitchell and arreola being the FOTY for the four or five rounds it lasts.
